Mr Scaddan says in his petition: “We have lived in this house for 10 years and have done this manoeuvre numerous times every day.

“The road where we live with our young family has a 40mph speed limit but this vehicle was traveling at the ridiculous speed of 80mph.

“My wife was cut out of the vehicle and air lifted to Leeds General Infirmary and my daughter was taken to Dewsbury hospital. They are both still recovering.

“We were informed by the police and fire brigade that if we had a smaller car they would both be dead.

“Many vehicles speed down Leeds Road, between Shaw Cross and the Babes in the Wood traffic lights, and there have been people killed by speeding motorists.

“Cars have ended up crashing into people’s gardens after losing control. It’s just a matter of time before someone else gets killed.

“This is a 40mph road with speed camera signs. Occasionally there is a mobile speed camera that parks up in the dip of the hill close to where I live but it seems this just is not enough to slow vehicles down.
